Name: Jose Aldo and why not loving his fighting style is OK by Luke Thomas Live Chat and Podcasts in P.M.L.C. Extras
Duration: 7 min 15 s
Description: Jose Aldo is treated as though liking his fights is a requirement for MMA fan authenticity or understanding when that's really not the case. He is more defensive as a fighter than is acknowledged, and his game works on shutting down his opposition's, often in long bouts. If you like that, great. If you don't, though, that's also OK.
